HOMECOMING 2023!!
A highlight of the 2023 Homecoming Pep Rally and Parade was the presentation of the Homecoming Court followed by the announcement of the Homecoming King and Queen.
Senior Ella Scolaro was crowned as the 2023 Homecoming Queen while senior Luke D’Alise was crowned 2023 Homecoming King. Homecoming Princess Camila Verdugo, presented the newly crowned King and Queen with a bouquet of flowers. Camila’s parents placed the successful bid on this Legacy Event item at the 2022 fundraiser.
Members of the 2023 Homecoming Court are senior boys Brooks Burns, Cooper Locke, and Rohan Felton and senior girls Reghan Rose, Campbell Carper, and Audrey Smith.
The Homecoming Court is nominated by the senior class and the King and Queen are elected by the high school student body.

Upcoming Events
Around the School
As Halloween approaches, the Middle and High School Student Council would like to take the opportunity to have some fun and raise money for a worthy cause! This year we will be hosting a fundraiser to benefit the American Red Cross.
For a $5 donation, middle and high school students can wear their favorite Halloween costume to school on Tuesday, October 31st. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to the American Red Cross, which provides critical support to individuals affected by natural disasters, like Hurricane Laura and the tornado in Matador, TX.
We encourage all students to participate and show off their costumes as we come together to support a great cause. Those who choose not to wear a costume are also welcome to make a donation to the American Red Cross.
Let’s make this Halloween memorable by giving back to our community through this fundraiser. Thank you for your support, and we hope to see everyone in their costumes on October 31st!
**Restrictions apply – Costumes should be school appropriate. Costumes should not be suggestive or political in nature. Middle and High School students should NOT wear costumes that would scare our younger students.

THANK YOU GENEROUS VAN DONORS!
Guests at last year’s Legacy Event had the opportunity to contribute toward the purchase of two new vans for the school. Through the generosity of the friends listed here, the goal was exceeded and the school has new vans to serve the students with transportation for competitions, field trips, community service, and more. The new vans are already busy but will soon take a break in order to be wrapped in Patriot Pride with the addition of our school logo. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed!

Library
Preschool has had fun in the library this past month while learning about Community Helpers! Mrs. Knipstein reached out to some of her friends in and around Lubbock, asking them to stop by to talk about their profession while reading a related story to the children. First up was Dr. Blank from Special Service Laboratory, where they make dentures and teeth for dentists. She had vampire teeth for the children to try out! Next up was Dr. Laurel Linn Jones, a now retired veterinarian. She read Biscuit Goes to the Doctor, gave each child a dog or cat pencil, and let them listen to their heart with her stethoscope.
Thank you to all of our Community Helpers for all you do for Lubbock and the surrounding area as well as educating our Preschoolers! We appreciate you!
Fine Arts
All Saints Theatre brought home not 1, not 2, but 3 Awards of Distinction from the Texas Educational Theatre Association! The Lower School was honored as exemplary, while the Middle School and High School were recognized as outstanding. All Saints was the only private school recognized among the 36 distinguished recipients statewide. Thank you to Mr. Shane Strawbridge Mrs. Angela Haislip for all of their time and energy and to the theatre students who make the program what it is. Kudos to you all!
All Saints High School Theatre One Act Play Troupe placed 3rd in the TAPPS 2A District Contest on Monday, October 16, 2023. The Patriots performed “Where the Sky Meets the Sea” by Mandy Conner. It is a Greek Mythology drama which tells the story of five Greek children who find themselves abandoned on an island until an oracle sends them on a mystical quest to seek their release, at the cost of a sacrifice.
Junior Elizabeth Johnson was named All Star Crew while All Star Cast honors were awarded to senior Olivia Needham, junior Hannah Harvey, and sophomore Emma Lane.
Honorable Mention All Star Cast members are seniors Brooks Burns and Jeye Johnson, and sophomores Erin Brodbeck, Dylan Caffey, Aiden Griffith, and Lia Liu.
Congratulations to a great group of thespians as well as to Mr. Strawbridge and Mrs. Haislip for all of your hard work. The performance, props, and story was exceptional in the humble opinion of this admirer.
On Monday, October 23, 2023, the All Saints Episcopal School Field Band and Drumline competed in the State Championships. Schools from around the state travel to Waco, Texas for the opportunity to perform and receive a rating and critique of their entry.
The drumline received a first division score along with an excellent rating.
“Our drumline this year is a group of hard-working percussionists,” says drumline director Rob Lovett. “They meet outside of regular class time and give of their talents and effort to put a wonderful program on the field. I am so very proud of them.”
The band received a superior rating and ranked 4th place overall.
“I think the band played better today than they have all year,” says Director of Bands Charley Cross. “The students represented themselves and the school at the highest level. I believe that our administration, faculty, staff, and families should be very proud of this group of students. I know I am.”
The band is under the direction of Charley Cross and Rob Lovett.
Lower School Art has been working hard studying Día de los Muertos. Third grade has also been working to perfect their value scales and Fourth Grade has made self portraits inspired by Tim Burton.
Patriot Learning Center
Fall feelings bring out all of our PLC Fun!
From goblins and superheroes to patterns one by one!
October dress up days will surely bring a smile!
On Friday, the 27th we will walk our costume mile!
We are counting little pumpkins on a gate!
And learning about leaves changing then falling to their fate!
So playing with a purpose, we will continue to pursue!
And don’t be surprised if you spy us, we might greet you with a “BOO!”👻
Pre-Kindergarten recently had a visit from the firemen of Station 14 for our letter of the week and unit on Community Helpers. We got to see the inside of a fire truck, learn fire safety like “stop, drop, and roll”, and watch a demonstration of all the equipment firemen use and wear when they are working.
Lower School
Kindergarten visited At’l Do Farm on Thursday, October 19th. They enjoyed fun activities including the Fairy Tale Trail and hayride.
Earlier this week, the Lubbock Fire Department put on a fire clown variety show presentation for Kindergarten and First Grade students. They talked to the students about fire prevention and safety.
To culminate their study of nonfiction text features, First Grade students made a spider with the legs representing each feature they studied. They were responsible for matching the picture to the word.
As we learn about our community and how to be responsible and helpful citizens, Second Grade has decided to participate in a nationwide service project called SOCK-tober. Socks are some of the most needed but least donated items as we approach the cold winter months. And with over 600,000 homeless neighbors in our nation, we have decided to make it our job to collect as many socks as possible for Lubbock’s homeless shelters.
Popcorn Week is a tradition in Third Grade going back many years. During the week, students learn the history of popcorn, write stories about being a popcorn kernel, do math using popcorn, learn all kinds of facts about popcorn and finish up with a trip to the At’l Do Farms corn maze to celebrate National Popcorn Month.
Third Grade also started their study on volcanoes. This included research about the different types of volcanoes and how they function. Each team of scientists made presentations to parents and special guests as they set their volcanoes to erupt.
Fourth Grade travelled to Carlsbad Caverns last week and had a day that was filled with stalagmites, stalactites, bats and caves. Now that their trip is complete, stay tuned to see what they create here on campus!
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Eighth Grade Mo Ranch Trip
The Mo Ranch trip is a hallmark of the final year of middle school for our 8th graders. Mo Ranch is nestled in the Hill Country just off the Guadalupe River. It’s picturesque beauty offers many fun recreational activities for our students to participate in. Whether kayaking the river or jumping from the Mo Pole, students who attend have the opportunity to come together for team building exercises, connection through faith and prayer, and fun! It’s a great time to rest and reflect upon their time together throughout the years.
Virtual Challenge Meet
During the month of September, fourteen middle school and lower school students participated in the Virtual Challenge Meet competition. VCM, very similar to PSIA, is competition that allows students to compete against other students throughout the state of Texas in various academic events.

Today, more than one million students participate throughout the United States and around the world with a commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
All Saints continues to uphold the standards by serving their community with a variety of service activities and fundraising efforts in addition to requiring its members maintain academic and character standards. Members participate in the school’s organizations, activities, and leadership roles. In addition, NHS hosts several events each year. They will host a community Trunk or Treat on October 30 as well as a spring fundraiser and service project.
Membership is extended to All Saints junior and senior students that maintain a minimum 4.25 GPA and receive faculty approval. In addition, members must uphold the organization’s standards for character, scholarship, leadership, and service.
2023 Texas Tech Math Bowl
Four All Saints students participated in the 2023 Texas Tech Math Bowl competition on Saturday, October 21, 2023 on the Texas Tech campus. The participants were Josh Eckert, Luke Rushing, Alex Xu, and Jacob Moss.
The competition consisted of rounds with 5 calculators, 5 mathematics, and 5 number sense questions in each round. All Saints won the first round by 5 points, was defeated in rounds 2 and 3 by only 1 and 2 points, but made the semifinals in 4th place. The semifinal match paired All Saints with the previous year’s defending small school champion, Kress Black. All Saints was down 4 to 2 in that round, but came back to win the round in a triple tiebreaker putting them into the finals with the O’Donnell Eagles. The finals round was back and forth, but, in the end, O’Donnell won the small school championship and All Saints finished second.
It was a fun day of competition and we are very proud of the efforts given by Josh, Luke, Alex, and Jacob. Congratulations on a job well done!
High School Robotics
All Saints High School Robotics students are exploring a variety of technical skills that can be applied to robotics, as well as careers in the technical, manufacturing, and CNC/electronics controls fields. Dr. Clint Carpenter says, “These hands-on tasks enhance their understanding of technical concepts in required courses such as physics, calculus, and other STEM learning at ASES.” Students in the course are learning basic welding, industrial tool operation, 3-D printing, design measurements and pattern markups, logic circuit wiring, and programming. Additionally, the design process, project supervision and oversight, budgeting, and quality control are integrated into the course as students rotate through each station as collaborative work groups.
